Thanks for the perspective Matthias. I find myself constantly torn between the two camps. Paul Graham and YC representing one side and DHH and Basecamp the other. I see beauty on both sides. And I think there is a lot fertile middle ground…

Can’t every branch be considered an experiment? I have a ton of experimental branches that I don’t label «experimental». One of the reasons you use git…

Kind of funny that the government needs AI to navigate all the red tape and paperwork it has created

Would be open source for sure

We were Fauna users for several years and invested a lot of time working with it and around it. The time travel capability was one of the stand out features for us in addition to FQL which opened some interesting capabilities. That being said for various reasons we had to transition away from it and did so by creating a FQL compatible solution on top of Postgres. It is implemented in JavaScript/TypeScript and runs in Postgres through the plv8 extension. Is this something that would be interesting to other current users?

I don’t think easy unsubscribe falls under «sharp edges and one-way doors». But high friction unsubscribe probably goes hand in hand with sharp edges and one-way doors at those lead you to want to unsubscribe…therefore they make it hard.

A love that HN doesn’t have pics and that they strive for short meaningful titles, so I’ll stay here :)

I’m working on a state library for JS/React very similar to Recoil and Jotai. Have been using both but struggled with different performance issues that I was able to overcome seeing 10x to 100x improvements in some cases. I’m working on documentation at the moment and plan to open source soon

As developers/engineers we love to solve problems. Too many times though we mislabel "friction" as "problem" and then start trying to solve the friction based on our current skill set or viewpoint. So frontend devs feel friction working backend and vice versa leading to all sorts of efforts like this that mostly fail. Good luck though :)

You can try our experimental BPM/Flow tool at shiftx.com/ai. Importing the AI generated flows will be possible in a few days

I wonder if the tide will ever turn? That it would become a competitive advantage to build enterprises with values other than maximizing the returns to their shareholders.

Definitely still work
